Gametocyte traits are complex traits that are likely to be influenced by the human, parasite and potentially even the mosquito, all within the context of the local actual and historical transmission intensity as well as local environmental heterogeneity.
Within a stand, for example, areas with cooler microclimates (e.g., cold air drainages, seeps) often have lower historical fire intensity and frequency, and higher stem densities and canopy cover, producing forest habitat for some sensitive species.
Generation of estimates of cluster seroprevalence can therefore complement the collection of parasitological indicators from periodic large scale surveys in low-transmission settings by indicating recent and historical transmission intensity, depending on population tested and antigens used.
Examination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity PA scores reproducibility indicated a modest Spearman correlation between Baseline and Historical moderate-intensity scores (r = 0.29).
In addition to the current management situation, we studied the effects of soil pH and moisture, tree density, historical land-use intensity, time since abandonment (in abandoned sites) and grazing intensity (in grazed sites).
The work resembles Lawrence's novel The Rainbow in its historical sweep and intensity of vision.
But the poets Alexander told Dwight Garner of the Times that she's been reading in preparation for her task — Virgil, Auden, Ted Hughes, Seamus Heaney, Gwendolyn Brooks — suggest that she has certain aspirations in mind: linguistic clarity, moral intensity, historical resonance, intellectual power.
An index of chronic occupational exposure was constructed according to worker position and based on the historical duration and intensity of DDT application.
Against a background of very similar population structure and selection signatures in the P. falciparum populations of Ghana, three narrow genomic regions showed evidence indicating local differences in historical timing or intensity of selection.
